Is the secret constipation?

Bill Gates charity is tax scam.

It could be that these people are meeting to discuss ways to donate money more effectively but it is possible that they are discussing how to give to charity and further your personal agenda.
The richest people in the world did not get to be obscenely wealthy by being concerned with anything other than themselves. Actions not words are the true measure of a person.

Many of the richest in this world are over 50. Especially now, when the worldwide economy is in collapse, maybe there is a concerted effort to stave off diaster. We can only hope. I wish a bundle of $$ would go into CA foodbanks.

Actually the super rich tend to be less selfish and more giving than other Americans. You don't get rich by being concerned about yourself, you get rich by having passion for your work.

[veritasor]

Our ranting here have begun to scare the "riches"; keep it up, $100 bill will be handed out on the street...

The social-political system here and around the world is no longer working for the great majority of folks!

[StillIRise]

If the meeting was "secret," how are we talking about it?

[CaptD]

The American Ultra Wealthy should set the example by "making up" for the Greedy Rich that have taken advantage of our Country and increased the number of "poor" World wide! Together these folks can set the example world Wide for other Ultra Wealthy folks to offset the harm caused by the power hungry Greedy! This is more important than
green House gasses and is affecting our Planet NOW!

Waaaaaay too much cynicism here! These people could have all taken their money and rested on their bank accounts but, instead, they've given millions away to good causes. Why is it so difficult for so many to believe that there really are some rich people who are good? Tarring all of them with the same brush is inexcusable. Just because you aren't wealthy is no reason to hate those who are. I live on Social Security that I paid into for forty-two years. It's hard making ends meet but I refuse to begrudge those who have money and try to help others.

I smell a conspiracy brewing. A world takeover. A new world order! To arms! To Arms!

Hilarious comments on ABC site. One says he finally gets 80K/yr (only) and calls this a proof of opportunity. Another one advises to pray and trust God.

Setting all this nonsense aside, I think that richest people, - if they are not crooks (not from Cheney/Bush clan), - the best they could do is to help adjusting our wild 'free market' to modern world of mixed economy and strong leading role of government, world of large efforts in education, science and technology.

[swift goat pet for truth]

We do not have free market capitalism.

We have crony capitalism.

[AtheistUS]

That's what it is: wild 'free market' capitalism is crony capitalism. That's what it is when there are no strict regulations and government is weak and complicit.

[andycan]

Did they just give to charity or also connive against the little guy?
Time will tell...
I hope some journalist discloses what they talked about...

[Hirnlego]

How about this?

Stewart McKenzie knew it all along...

[maricgro]

Did they meet in a secret place known as "The Meadows"...

[PCMinistry]

Do you mean "The Grove"?

[PCMinistry]

You can read the whole article and not find one mention of what this purely philanthropic group calls itself.

[mcnary]
